It is easy to see why Joe Biden doesn’t do many sit-down interviews.

In the president’s recent interview with Lester Holt of NBC News, Biden got a bit testy and called Holt a “wise guy” for bringing up Biden’s assertion in July that inflation would be temporary. How dare Holt ask Biden about his previous assurances to the public!

At least Biden didn’t call Holt a “stupid son of a bitch” like he did with Peter Doocy. Biden’s interactions with the press seem to be getting more hostile, more frequently: “What a stupid question!” “If you don’t understand that, you’re in the wrong business!” “That is an interesting reading of English! You — I assume you got into journalism because you liked to write!” and so on.
